OLD GRIMES.

A. G. Green, born in Providence, Il. T., Fl
ruary 10, 1902, and educated at Brown Univ,
eity in that city, died 1868, was the author
the famous song, "Old Grimes is Dead,'
seldom correctly published, but as popular
any in the English language. The following
. correct version
Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We e'er shall see him more;
He used to wear long black coat
All buttoned down before.
His heart was open as the day,
His feelings all were true;
His hair was some inclined TO gray,
He wore it in queue.
Whene'er he heard the voice Of pain,
His breath with pity burned;
The large round head upon his cane
From ivory was turned.
Kind words he ever had for all,
He knew a base design
His eyes We're dark and rather small.
His nose was aQuiiine.
He lived Mt peace with all mankind
In friendship be was true;
His coat had pochet-holes behind,
His pantaloons were blue.
Unharmed by Sill which earth poilutes,
Hepassed securely o'cr,
And never wore a pair of boots
For thirtG years more.
But good old Crimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortnnes frown;
He wore double-breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to find.
And pay it its desert;
He had no malice ia his mind,
No rlllies on his shirt.
His neighbors he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay
He wore large buckles on his shoes,
And changed them every day.
His knowledge hid from public gaze,
He did not bring to view,
Nor make {. noise town meeting days.
AS many people do.
His worldly goods he never threw
III trust to fortunes chances;
He lived (,s MI his brothers tlo,l
In easy circumstances.
Thus unt]isturbed by anxious cares.
His peaceful moments ran,
And everybody snid he was
a tinc OLD gentleman.

Emperors Birthday.

( ~ ~4e
North China Herald: The birthday Of
the young Emperor on the 18th Of last
August was not celebrated with the
pomp customary with his predecessors
on the Celestial throne. The only OBJ
servances were the services by court
officers in the name of the Emperor at
the shrines of ten emperors and twen-
tyone empresses.
We have before us an account Of the
birthday prostration in 1915 before the
Emperor Sheng-tsu, which His Majesty
permitted to be observed by petition of
the princes, dukes and generals Of the
empire. From the northwest gate of
Peking; seven miles out to the gate of
of the park 5Wanshou-shan, there were
erected in great numbers what are call
ed dragon tents. In these tents army
officers and mobiles lived for more than
a fortnight. On the birthday the En-
peror came in state and for seven miles
along the road the officers and courtiers
knelt on each side of the way as the
Emperor passed. IL ere was announce
thent of the birthday sent to the affairs
